Background
On August 16, 2023, Lovesac revealed in an SEC filing that its Board of Directors “commenced an internal investigation related to the recording of last-mile shipping expenses”.
This investigation was triggered by an incorrect accounting entry that included $2.2 million of shipping expenses from the previous fiscal year.
Lovesac also found additional mistakes in how it calculated shipping costs.
Specifically, the company used an incorrect method to account for last-mile shipping expenses.
The company stated that “as a result of the identified errors the Company believes that previously reported operating income and net income were overstated by approximately $1.5M to $2.5M”.
This disclosure caused a drop in $LOVE, which fell by 2.95% on August 17, 2023.
Due to these issues, shareholders filed a lawsuit against Lovesac for not properly disclosing problems with its accounting.
